Interesting thread, but I am confused a bit. So are you saying these facilities are linked, or part of a network of some sort?
I fail to see any links between many of them. One thing you should look at are the frequency ranges many of these use. Some use HF frequency ranges,
some use microwave bands, and some in between. They all have different uses which, if you look into what various frequencies can be used for, lead me
to believe that there can be no common usage or link for many of these, if thats what your implying.
I have always been interested in radio, since I was about 16, and I am a licensed amateur radio operator as well ( full qualifications ).
There are antennas everywhere if you open your eyes in your local area, with hundreds of different uses. Some even look very strange, strange enough
to ask what it may be used for.
Many of the ones you have listed are nothing but observatories for looking into the stars. Some are nothing but radar stations.
Interesting thread, but the point of listing all these is?????

JORN is an OTH-B (Over The Horizon - Backscatter) radar system. OTH-B radars work by reflecting radar waves off the ionosphere to get past the radar
horizon. Apparently it detected stealth aircraft over the Nevada desert... In any case there are huge amounts of OTH-B systems all over the world,
even dating back to the 1950s - iirc, they do not work like HAARP does although they use the ionosphere.

Similar systems to JORN include.

AN/TPS-71 ROTHR.
Russian Woodpecker
AN/FPS-118
And a bunch in China that are on Google Earth.

Also included was a OTH-SW (Surface Wave) system, which diffracts radar waves around the Earth along the surface of the ocean, allowing them to travel
beyond the traditional radar horizon. It does not use the ionosphere like an OTH-B system or HAARP would.

I agree, such a multiplicity of equipment types, antenna types, frequencies, and intended uses cannot possibly be parts of a coordinated worldwide
system.

When I was in the Antarctic as Radio Communications Officer, at one of the Australian bases, we even had a small ionosonde transmitter/receiver system
there. It regularly squawked straight up into the ionosphere, and recorded the reflected echo.

Large electrically steerable phased antenna arrays can be used for many purposes, including radio astronomy, over the horizon radars, and ionospheric
measurement. Nothing at all sinister in any of that.

This entire Planet is screwed as I see it, I can see government leaders saying if we don't do it someone else will then they will be the head Leaders
and have control.

If new technology is used for the good that's one thing but to control or hurt another in anyway is.....................I don't see HAARP as going
to be used for anything good but as with everythng time will tell.

Of course there are other uses for JORN - they are all open source - however it is very similar to many other systems dating back to the 1950s,
because OTH-B systems are nothing new. I don't really care what some CEO says, I ask the engineers, analysts, and look at the fundamental differences
between the two.

Also, given the amount of help the United States have given us in terms of military issues - why exactly would I care if they have an intelligence
base here? Let me guess - you haven't been within five thousand miles of pine gap (Google Earth and MS paint doesn't count), know absolutely nothing
about it, the Australian military, or Australian politics? Also, was that a (poor) attempt at humour?

Great post, starred and flagged. Did anyone happen to watch the History Channel last night? They had as show called "That's Impossible," and the
show as all about HAARP, and the different facilities around the world, and how they use it as a weather weapon. I too have researched this thing, but
the show had all of the tech, plus computer animation, and was fabulously presented.

back in the days we used to hunt for northern lights when esicat announced that they where doing "experiments" and the other way around , when we
saw northen lights we checked if esicat had announced any "experiments"

at least back in the days they announced everything on their site about when and where.

This report describes the deployment of a new ionospheric sounder, the Digisonde Portable Sounder (DPS), at Svalbard (78.2 deg N) and discusses the
first results obtained with this instrument. The most important new feature in the DPS, not available in the old Digisondes, is the capability of high
precision incidence angle measurements and spectral characterization at up to 128 ranges.
...
This capability can be applied to identify and track irregularities generated by high power HF transmitters as planned for HAARP (HF Active Auroral
Research Program) experiments in Alaska.

I don't understand the need to transmit signals using the ionosphere.
It seems satellite would be much easier.

I have seen where these are supposed to modify the ionosphere, causing me to believe this is about weather control.

These discoveries [Immel et al., 2006] show that the entire ionosphere, sometimes referred to as “the inner edge of space,” regularly responds to
the tropospheric weather systems below. The likely mechanism for effectively carrying tropospheric energy upward to the edge of space to modify the
ionosphere is the generation and upward propagation of large-scale waves, known as atmospheric tides.

Other military documents point out HAARP's potential for altering weather patterns for defensive tactical measures, exploring Earth-penetrating
tomography (used to locate weapons facilities underground) and geophysical probing for natural resources like oil, mineral deposits and gas.

Dr. Nick Begich, author of Angels Don't Play This HAARP, warns that the consequences of the military's experiment are more serious than mere
tampering with the ionosphere. "Energy in certain frequencies when reaching the outermost portions of the ionosphere can be amplified up to 1,000
times by natural processes. A serious environmental disaster-such as geoelectric storms, hurricanes or floods--may well be the result," Begich
cautions.

HAARP's inventor, Bernard Eastlund, says there's no cause for concern-yet. "What's up there now is not, in my opinion, big enough to be concerned
about. It has to be used judiciously, but it's not the kind of power level that can do the stuff that's in my patents yet. But they're getting up
there. This is a very powerful device. Especially if they go to the expanded stage."

HAARP first gained attention in 1993 when the Federal Aviation Administration began advising commercial pilots about the large amounts of
electromagnetic radiation that HAARP could generate, possibly interrupting pilot communication and electronic instrumentation.
